This great classic kickstarted ID software on the software market and never left the software scene, keeping it’s legendary status with many new Doom releases. Amiga users had to wait a bit longer but had there own Doom look a like; Gloom. Doom being as ancient as it is, still looks and sounds brilliant. Countless mods and remakes have been made and is probably released on every OS or game-system.
